6 battle hardened GoodGymers ran 7k to One Big Family in Victoria to prepare food for the homeless food run tonight!

On a day when the rains came to town in a big way and street swimming was a more common sight than running. We danced around and thundered through the many puddles on the 3.5k route through Mayfair, St James's, Victoria and onto the Ebury Estate youth Club where we met Mike and the team.

After washing up we donned plastic gloves and got to work, we had Francis and Chris on the sandwich production line, buttering, cheese sprinkling and ham placing in unison!! Natalie and Sophie were bagging slicing and dicing some delicious looking fruit pies which Martin and I were on doughnut and pastry duties pairing and bagging the treats at a speedy rate!

40 minutes of furious action and a sprint finish on the Sandwich production line with a few extra hands we completed the task ready for the 6 loafs of sandwiches, and 120 treat options to be distributed by Harley on the One Big Family delivery bike to the local homeless community on Wednesday evening.

A wetter and wilder 3.5k taking in a little cross country running in Green Park brought us back to base a lot soggy but having made a huge difference to the homeless community in Westminster!!

Thank you so much for braving the conditions!! Hope to see you all again next week!!

Smooth Running
